Every month the WINS newsletter features a Board Member Spotlight and President’s message. It was decided that January would be my month since my first name is Jan. So, rather than writing two separate articles, I decided to combine the two.

I have always liked selling! My first experience happened when I was 7. My Mother was an Avon

representative and I would go to neighboring homes taking orders for her. From there, I helped promote her Tupperware business. I would go from door to door inviting neighbors to host a party.

Throughout my school years, I studied speech, drama and foreign languages. At the time I thought it would be great to be an interpreter at the United Nations.

The only problem with studying foreign

languages is that you have to have someone to communicate with on a regular basis. Before I could pursue that career,

I met the love of my life while performing as Nurse Preen in The Man Who Came to Dinner.

We’re approaching our

56th wedding anniversary and I have no regrets.

So, getting back to sales! I’ve sold Avon and Princess House Crystal. I enjoyed some marvelous

vacations on the East Coast and earned some beautiful crystal pieces for my home. The experience was a great one. Over the years I worked in the jewelry industry, where once again I was involved in sales. I then pursued a short career as a magazine publisher. Although the magazine was never a financial boon, the friendships I’ve made over the years are worth more than money can buy.

I joined WINS after meeting Leslie Daus. She said if I was going to belong to any group then WINS was the one.

My company is JCD Creations and I am a crafter and enjoy sewing blankets, designer towels, microwave bowl cozies and so much more!

Not only am I President

of WINS. But I am also President of the Sylmar

Woman’s Club.

It seems all those years of taking speech and drama has paid off!

At our next meeting there will be a signup sheet for you to share your story. I look forward to learning

more about each of you!

Warm regards,

Jan

Wishing you a world of success!

Lee Lubrano

I have lived in Simi Valley

for the past 36 years at the same address. I lost my husband 25 years ago and decided to stay in my house

we bought together. I worked at Farmers Insurance for

18 yrs and decided to retire

in 2007 when I turned 64. Because of the income that my husband was bringing in,

I decided to do direct sales

and went into Tupperware. 

Did you know that Tupperware was founded by chemist Earl Tupper in 1946

as non-breakable product? 

25 years later, I am still doing it. I love the product and it

is one of a kind to have in

your home. It is fun for the

kids to play with and they cannot break it.

When my daughter moved out, Tupperware moved in.

If you are looking for anythng in particular in Tupperware, I have a room full of it. If I don’t have it, we can get it.
